I hope you are well. I’m doing fine. I’ve been attending to a few different areas. I thought I’d post a few pics. I have developed a new market. It’s parallel to the Turtle Rescue items. But it gives attention to the Equine Segment. I’m exploring the interest of those who call themselves “Horse People”. I began with Pendants and Cuff Bracelets for Ladies.

Thk you Scott, I’m making a grouping of Cuffs and Pendants now. The stamps are working well. Very Crisp. I’m also making repeat items for the Turtle Rescue. They are expanding their buildings Great to hear from you, Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum

The new Dies I show here will go into the cases of Dies I’ve engraved since about 1975.by barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Thanks Bob, I appreciate the words. It’s healing. I’m cleaning and recapping it. It’s making skin. As you know, a wound like that just “removes material”, turned it to paste. I’m really lucky it hit how it did and didn’t stay another micro second. It’ll be good. It’s healing. Thanks. Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I hope you are all well. Hope your weather has settled down and is nice now. I thought of a tool/simple machine, to help me when producing pendants and cuffs. It will allow me to be seated and yet hammer decorative edging on parts. My eye/hand coordination is fine, but my back doesn’t want to support my torso while doing it. Has anyone been shooting? Any targets or blown up stuff to shby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Thank you my friend. I appreciate the encouragement. Today I worked on a bench tool that will help create the Scalloped Edging that looks nice around the Primary Image. It’s all coming together. Time to get ready for tomorrow afternoon in the shop. Good Night. Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I know you all have issues to resolve. Wounds to heal. And Personally, I often cringe when someone at Church or in Town, sticks out their hand and asks boldly ... “HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?” Well, you can lie and make up a tale that may suit the personality asking. You can tell the truth and be a real bummer to folks. Honestly, they’d most likely prefer choice one. Or, if the soul asking is a truby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum

Sketches and layouts on steel. Part of the Western Die Set.by barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I’m restoring some inventory that has sold at the Turtle Rescue Center. The process of buffing parts (in spite of masks), is a bit dirty. Whoohby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Hello Scott, Thks for commenting. These are both Dies. One on the end of a shaft. One on plate steel. The horse inside the horseshoe is the smaller. Such that a few might be embossed on a Cuff Bracelet. The stylized Horse of a heart shape, is the larger. It might be used to print a Pendant or a Belt Buckle. I’ll make a couple pieces. I’m glad the artwork appeals. Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
The larger piece of Artwork is approx. 1 3/4” - 2” tall The smaller Square is approx. 5/8” sq. There are all manner of items that can use these. Can you think of any? I’ll have to get them side by side for you to visualize. Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Kelly and I decided to develop a new “Western Line”. That involves making appropriate Dies to be struck. We hope you like the work so far. You see sketched out Die ideas. Then you see Engraved and Carved Steel. It’s all a lot of work. We like them so far. Friendly Comments?by barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum

Oh my Brother .... Jury Duty. I sat on a Murder Drug Dealer Trial. There was a traditional Classic Farm Family Man in the panel. And he was 100% convinced that if you just got the Perp down on the farm. Fed him well. He’d become a model citizen. It was a challenge. And all the time his defense was that he had accidently shot the wrong guy in a deal he got stiffed in. Shame when you accidentby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Serial no 165. This is a Rare Braddock Heights, Md., knife. I made it for a good friend 12-22-1979. He’s brought it in for its 44 year tune. Do NOT TOUCH THE PATINA!!!!!! That’s O-1 Tool Steel, Sambar Stag, Brass Frame. During 1979, I rented a home in Braddock Heights near Frederick.

Wanted to show you some of the details that result in the efforts I build in. This Escutcheon Plate is Sterling Silver. It’s been “Coined” in a handmade Steel Die I made during the 80’s. It has been “Riveted” to the frame of the Folder. It all takes time. Too much time. But, I know these projects will outlast me. So I build them while I endure a whole list of painful issues.
